TO THE ELECTORS OF WAIAPU. AND GENTLEMEN,— \ 1. Having resided for very many years in -our distriot, knowing all its unbounded re- , ources. and its negleoted requirements, I j lad no hesitation in at ones consenting, at he request of a great number of my friends, ] ,o contest the Waiapu Electorate in oppoai- < lon to the Hon Mr Carroll. ] 2. I am opposed to the present Adminis.ration. 3. Every Crown tenant should, in my opinion, ba able at any time to acquire the Ereehold of his home, at the unimproved value of the land at the time he took up his lease. It is grossly unjust to subject the tenant farmers of the State to payment ol periodical increases of values of rentals or purchase moneys, as their labors and arduous saorifioes have oreated these inoreases. 4. The Maori Land Councils are hopeless failures, and the look-up of all Native lands since 1900 has retardsd, and is re arding, the progress of this distriot. The Hon. Mr Car rollie responsible for tbi3 policy, whioh, as a colonial policy has altogether failed, and which is deeply injurious to the district he represents. 5. Tho present Administration have shamefully negleoted the roadiug of the Waiapu Electorate, and our Member has aoquießced in, put up with, and is responsible for that neglect. During the ten years or more of the Seddon Administration theWaiapu Electorate ha 3 been left out of all substantial divisions of Public Works Fund for roads and bridges. The term “ The negleoted North ” applies with much greater force to •> The negleoted East.” Ever moneys due under public statutes are with-held, or delayed, until, when reoeived, they are expended under the most wasteful oiroum- | stances Main roads and bridges, whioh are for all time, and for Natives and Europeans alike, have to be made out of loanß raised upon the seourity ol the lands of the pioneer settlers, while other districts have had these roads made for them. 6. A section of our Railway (Te Karaka to the Motu) ought to be put in hand at once, and railway construction commenced at Opotiki, Tauranga, Rotorua, or Waihi, on suoh route as may be determined.
7. Speoial provision should be made to put woiking men, and small settlers, on land under the homestead ana deferred payment ■ systems, the State building houses when required. Keserves should be made for churches, schools, libraries, eto., and grants made for the erection of these buildings. 8. The time has now arrivod when we can reasonably aßk for something to be done for a colonial harbor lor Poverty Bay. Our ex- | ports warrant this, being high on the list for rfew Zealand, and iucreaßing rapidly. Our Harbor Board is, no doubt, doing what it can, but it cannot make a harbor in tha river, and its expenditure of loan moneys on such an object should cense. 9. In view of recent events in the Eaßt, every young man should have a naval, or land, defence training. The future of the colony depends on our ability to defend ourselves. 10. I am in favor of Local Option, and a free right at all times for the peopio to deal as they ohoosa with liquor reform. Colonial no-license, if prscticaole, would make New Zealand, proportionately with population, the wealtniest and fairest land on earth. 11. As a farmer, I represent the most important industry in the colony, rural proi duots being our principal Eource of wealth, , and lam convinced that we should make more liberal land Jaws, and offer every inducement to enable people on the land to become producers. H. a. WAlilt.
